Ohhhhhhh. Yes, this is exactly what will happen. You're playing Yahtzee; she's playing Relationship Poker.
You are so f***ed.

This is the PG-rated version of the "premature ejaculator!" retort in that bit by Chappelle.
the worst part about playing relationship poker is when you aren't paying attention and before you know it you hear "check, mate!"

If BBA did it in Arthur Conan Doyle fan fiction form, the verb would be "to ejaculate YAHTZEE!!".
Forget what you've heard of them supposedly prude Victorianians. John can't hold candle to Sherlock.

She's telling of it to her friends on womandatory.com forums as we are unsuspectingly doing our thing here.

Yep, can't afford to go around thinking this is Relationship Checkers when all along she's been playing Relationship Go.

We are his friends! If we don't tell him he's massively ****ing his stuff up and making a fool of himself, who will?

Well, that takes money, fancy pants, and I'm damned sure not giving you any of that.

I applaud you all for legitimately making me laugh out loud.

went through 2 interviews for a new job that is a bit out of my comfort zone, but offered good development potential and benefits. turned it down this morning because it didn't feel right. and now I've spent all day beating myself up about it. I wish the emotional part of my brain would shut up and listen to the logical part that made the decision last night.
By “out of your comfort zone” do you mean in an area you don’t necessarily want to be in?
Or it’s a job higher up in the org chart/with more responsibility than you’re comfortable taking on at this point in your career?
in a completely different sector that I am not in a hurry to work in at all, therefore only wanted to entertain the 'perfect fit' kind of gig, which this wasn't
Well in that case of course it’s the right choice. Not the sector you want, they better make you an “offer you can’t refuse” (whether that be salary, role, benefits, all of the above, etc.)
Sometimes the wrong move is the wrong move. Sounds like you made the right call in identifying that.

I got a phone call yesterday. I had applied for a new(ish) job (same company, different section) and gone through interviews. My future boss congratulated me and told me I got it. Financially it's not better than what I have been doing now, but it is a permanent position and I can do something I actually like with massively decreased stress levels and somewhat reasonable work hours. I may lose some cash now but I expect substantial savings in medicals in forthcoming years. And now I might finally have time to use my tools and do more renovations, which have been halted for like 2 years due to insane amount of work hours.
Now I'm waiting for my current boss to show up at work so I can tell him. I'm not all agog about that moment.
